Commentary on 7:67
ولَمّا قابَلُوا لِينَتَهُ لَهم وشَفَقَتَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهَذِهِ الغِلْظَةِ - أعْرَضَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وعامَلَهم مِنَ الحِلْمِ بِضِدِّهِ ما سَمَّوْهُ بِهِ بِأنْ ﴿قالَ﴾ مُعَلِّمًا الأدَبَ في مُخاطَبَةِ السُّفَهاءَ ﴿يا قَوْمِ﴾ مُذَكِّرًا بِما بَيْنَهم مِنَ النَّسَبِ الدّاعِي إلى الوُدِّ والمُناصَحَةِ والعَطْفِ والمُلاطَفَةِ ﴿لَيْسَ بِي سَفاهَةٌ﴾ فَنَفى أنْ يَكُونَ بِهِ شَيْءٌ مِن خِفَّةِ حُلْمٍ، فانْتَقى أنْ يَكُونَ كاذِبًا لِأنَّ الدّاعِيَ إلى الكَذِبِ الخِفَّةُ والطَّيْشُ فَلَمْ يَحْتَجْ إلى تَخْصِيصِهِ بِنَفْيٍ.
ولَمّا نَفى السَّفاهَةَ، أثْبَتَ ما يَلْزَمُ مِنهُ ضِدُّها بِقَوْلِهِ: ﴿ولَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ﴾ وبَيَّنَ المُرْسَلَ تَعْظِيمًا لِلْأمْرِ بِقَوْلِهِ ﴿مِن رَبِّ العالَمِينَ﴾ أيْ: المُحْسِنِ إلَيْهِمْ بَعْدَ نِعْمَةِ الإيجادِ والأرْزاقِ بِإرْسالِ الرُّسُلِ إلَيْهِمْ لِيُكْسِبُوهم مَعالِيَ الأخْلاقِ الَّتِي بِها انْتِظامُ نِعْمَةِ الإبْقاءِ

7:58
وَٱلۡبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخۡرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذۡنِ رَبِّهِۦۖ وَٱلَّذِي خَبُثَ لَا يَخۡرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لِقَوۡمٖ يَشۡكُرُونَ ٥٨
And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.
7:59
لَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦ فَقَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱعۡبُدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنۡ إِلَٰهٍ غَيۡرُهُۥٓ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ عَذَابَ يَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ ٥٩
We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day."
7:60
قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٖ ٦٠
Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."
7:61
قَالَ يَٰقَوۡمِ لَيۡسَ بِي ضَلَٰلَةٞ وَلَٰكِنِّي رَسُولٞ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦١
[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.
7:62
أُبَلِّغُكُمۡ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمۡ وَأَعۡلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٢
I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allāh what you do not know.
7:63
أَوَعَجِبۡتُمۡ أَن جَآءَكُمۡ ذِكۡرٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ مِّنكُمۡ لِيُنذِرَكُمۡ وَلِتَتَّقُواْ وَلَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ ٦٣
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allāh so you might receive mercy?"
7:64
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ وَأَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ قَوۡمًا عَمِينَ ٦٤
But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.1

And to the ʿAad [We sent] their brother Hūd. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"

قَالَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰكَ فِي سَفَاهَةٖ وَإِنَّا لَنَظُنُّكَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ ٦٦
